Comments/Problems:

The laptop has bad ram in the onboard ram, first at 2.1MB, some more following in 2.1MB to 3MB, a second group of bad ram is from 22MB to 23MB (results by memtest86).
Caused by the bad ram the d-i stops while uncompressing the kernel (probably while using the 2MB area).

I'm looking for a possibility to circumvent the usage of bad ram. I've found the badram-kernel-patch and the idea of relocatable kernels so far. Can I use one of these to solve my problem? Are there other possibities?

Do you need help?
